like other keyframe situations?
It doesn't appear to be the case.  I double-click the little surround panner to open up the big Surround Panner.  I activate The Surround Panner Keyframes on the desired track.  I drag the diamond to the for left of the Surround Panner.  I move down 5 seconds of the timeline, create another keyframe, double-click it to open another Surround Panner, and its setting is  like the first keyframe's settings.  I drag the diamond to the right, and instead of getting a transition from left to right, I just get a right pan.  Help?  Vegas 5
